What a great shave! I know I'm bucking the trend with now Halloween decorations, but I substituted in some Bavarian brandy delivered by one of my best friends who just returned from Garmisch. I was reading a thread wherein AlRaz (of Al's Shaving) said most people tend to underhydrate their lather. So, I added more water this morning. As I started mixing, I just knew I had too much water, but I kept whipping and soon the Semogue made some of the most rich lather I've ever had. The resulting shave was sublime as the Livi made the 2-days of growth seem like but a ghostly memory! I finished it all off with The Knize! What more could you ask?

Great SOTD Bill! I know exactly what you mean, I keep telling myself that I am going to ruin my lather if I add more water and then I do it anyway and am always rewarded. Thanks to your amazing SOTD's, I ordered a Semogue 830 last week. I can't wait until it arives. Cheers!

Glenn,
Thanks for the compliments. You'll like the 830; it's a great brush. I wasn't sure what to expect because I've always been a badger guy, but the boar is great too!!!
Just be careful, you don't want to try to follow all my ADs - they are multiplying too fast!!! I don't know which is worse cost-wise: Straight Razor AD or Cologne AD...
Keep your great SOTDs coming!

The Science of Shaving
Hi guys,
Sorry for the thread hijack, but I just posted this thread about the science of shaving...some of you may find it interesting. A lot of fascinating tidbits (if you're a geek like me ).

Happy Halloween Evening
Razor: Henckels Platinum
Soap: Speik (in scuttle)
Prep: Hot towel
AS: Bodysource AS and cologne
Result: I don't use the scuttle enough, the warm suds were great! 2 passes in the goatee area, 3 for the rest. Very, very smooth...like butta! This razor is the stuff. All around a great shave, except where I shaved over some razor bumps on my neck hiding under the stubble. Still a super deluxe, gourmet shave though!
